This is the operator (you) in overall command as usual.
Deals with security alerts, bathymetry, AIS traffic etc. within pre-determined sensitivity limits.
Optimal initial value instructions are updated with re-evaluated optimal modified field instructions when necessary
The optimization algorithms simulate vehicle tasking through an environmental forecast using a virtual autopilot. The mission goal and the sampling parameter options create a cost function, and the simulations calculate the cost function value for each ensemble. By choosing the minimum cost function value, the optimal solution ensemble is selected.
The virtual autopilot is heading focussed using a modelled environment. It monitors ‘past’ ability to help predict and correct future outcomes. Implicitly energy conscious, it uses currents respectfully ensuring net heading progress is prioritised.
